Scholarship Aid
The Amadou Diallo Foundation is pleased to
offer scholarship aid to students of African descent or to students who
have immigrated to the United States from Africa. However, the Foundation
has received so many requests for assistance that we regret that we must
limit funds to the following eligible individuals: undergraduate students
currently enrolled in a college or university in the City of New York
or students who have been admitted for study at a college or university
in the City of New York. We are particularly interested in supporting
the efforts of students who would not be otherwise able to continue their
education without additional financial aid.
Because of the enormous demand, we are asking all applicants to give us
some information about themselves, their academic background, their future
plans for study, research, and/or work, and their plans for the future.
Essay: Please tell us a little bit about why
you are requesting support from the Amadou Diallo Foundation? Tell as
well something about your academic record and about what you will do upon
completing your studies. The Foundation will be making its decisions
based on student need and on the scholastic merit they demonstrate in
this essay. If your application is accepted for further review, we will
contact you and ask that you furnish copies of your academic records to
assure your eligibility for scholarship aid. If you are granted an award,
the award will be administered through your school and its Office of Financial
Aid.
